People in Israel woke up to see something interesting in the sky – a missile contrail left by a trial conducted this morning (Monday) by the Israeli Defense Ministry.

The trial, which aimed at testing the rocket engine, was carried out at the Palmachim military base in central Israel. The Israeli Defense Ministry released a statement that the test was planned in advance and successful.

According to foreign sources, Israel’s weapons arsenal includes Jericho ballistic missiles, which the country is trying to improve both in terms of range and accuracy. During such trials, Israel’s airspace is closed.
